Previous studies have used recombinant adeno-associated viral
(rAAV) vectors to deliver glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor
(GDNF) in the substantia nigra to protect the nigral dopamine (DA)
neurons from 6-hydroxydopamine-induced damage. However, no regeneration
or functional recovery was observed in these experiments. Here, we have
used an rAAV-GDNF vector to express GDNF long-term (6 months) in either
the nigral DA neurons themselves, in the striatal target cells, or in
both of these structures. The results demonstrate that both nigral and
striatal transduction provide significant protection of nigral DA
neurons against the toxin-induced degeneration. However, only the rats
receiving rAAV-GDNF in the striatum displayed behavioral recovery,
accompanied by significant reinnervation of the lesioned striatum,
which developed gradually over the first 4-5 months after the lesion.
GDNF transgene expression was maintained at high levels throughout this
period. These results provide evidence that rAAV is a highly efficient
vector system for long-term expression of therapeutic proteins in the
nigrostriatal system.
